Defamation Solicitors​

When your reputation is affected by false written or spoken words, it is an incredibly serious matter.

It goes without saying that building up a good repute is not easy, and if anyone were to say something that could affect your position, you do have the right to take legal action.

You may have only heard of celebrities being involved in libel/slander cases, however  they are in fact becoming more of an everyman’s problem. There have been many cases where significant damages have been awarded to successful claimants. Libel is written information that is not true and could cause harm to reputation of a person or company, whereas slander is the spoken version of this.
